Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Vad är ljumskbråck och hur vanligt är det ? Bråck är en försvagning i bukväggen genom vilken bukhinnan och bukinnehåll kan bukta ut så att en knöl kan kännas. Bråck i ljumsken kan vara medfödda eller utvecklas med stigande ålder då vävnaden försvagas. Ljumskbråcken kan indelas i två typer: inguinala och femorala (lårbråck). De inguinalBackground: According to the Swedish Hernia Register (SHR), the reoperation rate after recurrent groin hernia is more than twice that following primary hernia repair. Aims: To study the impact of method of mesh repair used in recurrent groin hernia surgery on re-recurrence as well as chronic pain and physical disability. Methods: Papers 1 and 2 were based on nationwide data from the SHR 1992-2008.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det finns celler i vår kropp som har ett livslångt ansvar att tillverka alla blodceller. De kallas blodstamceller, eller hematopoetiska stamceller, och är en till antalet liten population celler som har den enorma kapaciteten att göra 1012 blodceller om dagen under hela vårt liv. Blodstamceller har multipotentiell differentieringsförmåga dvs. de kan bilda alla mogna bloThis thesis is about the regulation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that represent rare cells residing in the bone marrow (BM) of adults. They are multipotent cells that have the capacity to differentiate to all mature cells of the blood system and have the capacity to self-renew, i.e. generate new HSCs. These cells have tremendous therapeutic potential to treat a variety of hematopoietic disor

Studies, mainly from the UK, show that many farmland birds have declined as a result of recent agricultural intensification. We tested this idea by analysing farmland bird population trends in Sweden, a country displaying less dramatic agricultural changes and less intensive agriculture. Specifically we investigated whether (i) farmland specialists have declined more than generalists, (ii) populat

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kritiskt sjuka patienter på intensivvårdsavdelningar (IVA) har ofta störningar i blodets levringsförmåga (koagulation). Kliniska tecken som blodpropp (djup ventrombos eller blodpropp i lungorna) och/eller blödning kan vara resultatet av aktivering och konsumtion av koagulationsfaktorer och koagulationshämmare. Disseminerad intravaskulär koagulation (DIC, som är en samtiCritically ill patients in intensive care units (ICU) often have coagulation disturbances. Clinical manifestations such as thromboembolism and/or bleeding may result from activation and consumption of coagulation factors and inhibitors. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a severe condition with an often-poor prognosis. Global haemostatic tests are inexpensive, widely available, and ma

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund I Sverige erbjuds samtliga gravida kvinnor ett rutinultraljud vid 18-20 graviditetsveckor. Syftet med undersökningen är att fastställa antalet foster, uppskatta graviditetslängd samt granska fosteranatomin för att upptäcka eventuella missbildningar. En del missbildningar kan man se med ultraljud, men långtifrån alla. Att redan under graviditeten känna till om The aim was to evaluate first trimester nuchal translucency (NT) measurement for detection and risk assessment of fetal malformations and fetal loss. 39 572 pregnant women were randomised to either a routine ultrasound scan at 12-14 weeks including NT measurement or to a routine scan at 18-20 weeks. Prenatal diagnosis of major congenital heart malformations was compared between the two groups. In

Background No effective standard treatment exists for patients with radioiodine-refractory, advanced differentiated thyroid carcinoma. We aimed to assess efficacy and safety of vandetanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor of RET, VEGFR and EGFR signalling, in this setting. Methods In this randomised, double-blind, phase 2 trial, we enrolled adults (aged >= 18 years) with locally advanced or metastatic

Background Metastatic melanoma is still one of the most prevalent skin cancers, which upon progression has neither a prognostic marker nor a specific and lasting treatment. Proteomic analysis is a versatile approach with high throughput data and results that can be used for characterizing tissue samples. However, such analysis is hampered by the complexity of the disease, heterogeneity of patients

This dissertation deals with design and characterization of functional structures for scattering of electromagnetic waves. An abundance of these structures can be found in nature, such as the structural coloration in the feathers of a peacock, the scales of butterflies and the shell of scarab beetles. Human design of structures providing specific interactions with electromagnetic waves have a long

Therapeutic antibodies are the fastest growing class of drugs but suffer from a crowded target-space where many antibodies, against a few targets, are developed in parallel. The aim of this thesis is to find methods to enable discovery of novel antibody-target combinations and thereby increase the target-space. A strategy to achieve this is to use phage display antibody libraries and selection on

Internal combustion engines have been the most used engine design when it comes to vehicle propulsion and transportation. But as the number of vehicles increase, new problems arise as well. Engine emissions such as carbon dioxide that has an effect on a global scale and other harmful emissions that affect on a local scale such as soot and nitrogen oxides are on the rise, forcing the countries to t

Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Site 1051 (Blake Nose, western North Atlantic) is of crucial importance for reconstructing diatom evolution and biosiliceous sedimentation patterns through the early Cenozoic period of extreme greenhouse warmth followed by the progressive global cooling. The magnetostratigraphy in Hole 1051A, however, has been subject to divergent interpretations resulting in multi-mil

Code-based cryptography is one of the main techniques enabling cryptographic primitives in a post-quantum scenario. In particular, the MDPC scheme is a basic scheme from which many other schemes have been derived. These schemes rely on iterative decoding in the decryption process and thus have a certain small probability p of having a decryption (decoding) error.In this paper we show a very fundam

BACKGROUND: Within work sociology, several studies have addressed construction workers' practices of masculinity, class, economy, safety risks and production. However, few studies have investigated room for agency in relation to bodily pain or musculoskeletal disorders and even fewer have made a quantitative approach. Accordingly, by means of a questionnaire, we examined the association between co

The thesis aims to compare two approaches to psychosocial rehabilitation – day centres and clubhouses – and to explore if either appears better suited to support people in mental health recovery. The recovery focus is on opportunities for engaging in meaningful daily occupations, accessibility to social interaction and factors pertaining to perceived health and well-being. The thesis consists of f

Changes in forestry practices and on-going climate change may both have large impacts on forest bird populations. However, large-scale analyses of the effects of temporal changes in forest structure on forest bird numbers are largely lacking. We compared temporal trends from two Swedish nationwide long-term monitoring schemes, the Swedish Bird Survey (1998–2015) and the Swedish National Forestry I

Introduction: The use of medications in the general population has increased over time. Information on active metabolite concentrations for common drugs in the general population is limited. Recent advances in metabolomic technologies have made high-throughput profiling of many active metabolites in large epidemiological cohorts increasingly feasible.Aim: 1. Prospective assessment of the proportio

Typhoid fever continues to be a health challenge in low-and middle-income countries where access to clean water and sanitation infrastructure is scarce. The non-confirmatory diagnostic method continues to hinder effective diagnosis and treatment, ensuring in a high antimicrobial resistance. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence and antimicrobial susceptib
